Pemerintahan dalam Perspektif Al-Quran

Abstract

Governmental is very important for a community of nations, because the government guarantee an orderly system of life will be realized. In Islam, it is widely known the term “al-siyasah al-syar’iyyah†(religious politics) and formal leadership are so-called caliphate, sultan, Imamat, and uli al-amr. The Qur’an does not specify a particular form and style of government for Muslims; therefore, they have the freedom to choose the form of government. The Qur\u27an only contains the basic values of ethics and political morality as a foundation of a state or a nation. Government (khalifah), in carrying out development tasks should refer to its functions and duties as the khalifah. That is the responsibility of realizing the benefit for the people based on four basic principles: honesty, justice, discipline, and consultation (democracy)
